Protecting personal data

Sometimes we need to make changes to data if it is possible to identify individuals. This is known as statistical disclosure control.

In Census 2021, we:

• swapped records (targeted record swapping), for example, if a household was likely to be identified in datasets because it has unusual characteristics, we swapped the record with a similar one from a nearby small area (very unusual households could be swapped with one in a nearby local authority)

• added small changes to some counts (cell key perturbation), for example, we might change a count of four to a three or a five - this might make small differences between tables depending on how the data are broken down when we applied perturbation
